Description
The Mulvaneys is a deeply moving novel about a family's struggle to cope with its fall from grace. Joyce Carol Oates explores how the vagaries of fate can transform a once-happy clan into a scattered collection of lost and lonely souls. Over the course of twenty-five years, the Mulvaneys' fortunes rise and fall, each member enduring some form of exile - physical or spiritual. It is the youngest son, Judd, who attempts to piece together the fragments of his family's former glory, seeking to uncover the secret violation that occasioned their tragic downfall. Ultimately, the Mulvaneys find a way to bridge the chasms that have opened up among them, reuniting in the spirit of love and healing. This powerful novel is a testament to the human capacity for hope and resilience in the face of suffering.
